South Jersey autopsies to be reviewed, were performed by medical examiner who lost license in New Mexico

A former state pathologist who performed autopsies in several South Jersey counties had been barred from practicing medicine in the state of New Mexico, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer as posted on philly.com.

The New Jersey Attorney General's Office reportedly has cautioned prosecutors to review all autopsies performed by Hisham Hashish, 52. He has done post-mortem examinations in Camden, Gloucester, Atlantic, Cape May, Cumberland and Salem counties.

Hashish surrendered his license in New Mexico in 2011 because of allegations of negligence. He was hired in New Jersey on May 23, 2011.
